Rod Sensitivity Within the Central Retina as Measured on the Nidek MP-3S

Summary

A new fundus-guided microperimeter (MP-3S) has been developed by Nidek, Inc. to track the fundus of the patient and present stimuli in specific anatomically-defined locations. Furthermore, this tracking means that exactly the same locations can be tested on subsequent (follow-up) visits. The investigators will use a method called two-color perimetry to map rod and cone sensitivity on this device. With this technique, the sensitivity difference (blue-red) to chromatic test stimuli can be used to determine whether rods, cones or both photoreceptor systems mediate the threshold at a given location in the macula.
